Overview
...
The Simulation roll-out rollout contains the main panel for controlling the simulation process. It also displays some statistical info information like simulation times, and the content of the cache file for the current frame. The content may can be grid channels such as TemperatureLiquid, Velocity, etc., as well as particle groups. You can choose the channels select which channels to export to the cache files from the Output rollout, while the particle groups may be are created by the Fire Source | PHXSource, or Splash and Foam sections rollouts.
Most Many simulations require a long time to calculate and it's very convenient to let them run during the night. However, you still have to render the result in the morning, and this also consumes a lot of time. The Phoenix FD scripting system allows In this case, the Phoenix Scripting system can be helpful, since it enables you to execute any action at the end of the simulation, and that includes the rendering as well. You just have to enable the scripting from the Simulation roll-out including rendering. You simply need to enable "Use Script" from the Simulation rollout, and open the script text. For For more information, see the Nightly Simulation and Rendering section on the the Tips and Tricks page page.
